Fast Track will undermine the authority that we have entrusted to Congress to make sure that trade agreements with other nations are fair and in the best interests of working families – not corporations. If Fast Track is passed, job-killing trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that have been negotiated largely in secret could become law by a simple “yes or no” vote, without the possibility of any amendments.

The TPP, the “NAFTA of the Pacific,” will mean even more jobs sent overseas, lower wages for the jobs that remain, unsafe food and possibly a ban on our “Buy American” procurement laws and regulations. If Fast Track becomes law, however, Congress won’t be able to change a single provision of the agreement.
